Creativities Dead End (Book 1, Series 1) (Zombie Apocalypse Au)

7

(Note: Tents are now Cabins.)

It was a cold day at Camp Javin, it was about late October now. Everyone was kinda just chilling in their cabins. Everyone except Ezmeralda and Thomas who had broken into the counselors cabin.

"What are we doing?" Thomas asked as he looked over at his friend. Ezmeralda, who was still thinking about her nightmare boyfriend, walked over to the desk besides the bed. She held her crowbar firmly and lodged it between a locked drawer. She applied pressure and bit her lip.

"Ezmeralda-"

"I'm trying to get our phones." Ezmeralda mumbled as the dry wood broke and threw chips and splinters everywhere. She flinched before prying the drawer open and sifting through the phones to find hers.

"Why? They are probably dead." Thomas stated.

Ezmeralda pulled out her phone in her purple case and pressed the power button. The start up screen lit up and her phone turned on. Thomas fished out his phone too.

Ezmeralda had no service. She sighed before looking at a notification that had popped up.

Robin: Hey! I'll be there to get you when camp ends!

Ezmeralda felt panic rise in her. What if the dream was an omen? What if he showed up? Ezmeralda shoved her phone into her pocket and bit her lip.

She loved him but the campers will not and... Thomas hates him-

Thomas sighed, "What now?"

"I don't know.... I need to... get.... Warmer clothes for everyone." Ezmeralda mumbled. "Wanna come with?"

"Nah, ima hang out with Denton!"

"Of course-"

Ezmeralda and Thomas walked out and closed the doors to the cabin. Thomas walked with Ezmeralda to the middle of the camp before leaving for Dentons tent. Ezmeralda stood there and looked around. It was unusual for it to be this cold. Was it another omen?

"Ezmeralda!" A voice called out.

Ezmeralda turned to see Jean. "Whats up?"

"Were you going somewhere?" Jean asked before Flipping her hood up to hold some heat.

Ezmeralda nodded. "Yeah! Wanna come with?"

"Please!" Jean giggled.

They walked to the Escape (which everyone just labeled Ezmeralda's car because it's the only one she drove). Ezmeralda of course got in the driver's seat and Jean in the passenger. Ezmeralda started the car and started driving.

"So, what's wrong."

Ezmeralda hummed in response. She focused on the road, thinking about the town about 30 minutes away.

"You are clearly bothered by something." Jean stated.

"It's nothing. I promise." Ezmeralda mumbled.

Jean didn't push it and shifted in the seat. The car was silent. Ezmeralda opened her mouth to say something but hesitated. Jean caught this and listened.

"I had a bad... dream last night.... And for... and I think it was an omen." Ezmeralda mumbled. She clutched the wheel and looked ahead at the road.

"What was the dream?"

"Oh- it was about someone close to me and a conversation we had before we left. Rather not talk about it.... But if they showed up... I might leave with them." Ezmeralda explained.

"What!? No!" Jean exclaimed. "You can't leave! You are like... the only reason Thomas and Oliver haven't killed each other or Kira and Becca haven't gotten seriously injured- you can't leave!"
